I. Don't. Care.
Unapologetic Indifference: Embracing Life's Rebellion
Lyrics
I don't care when the sun goes down
The speaker is indifferent to the passing of time.
I don't care when you're not around
The absence of someone doesn't affect the speaker.
I don't care
Reiterating the lack of concern or emotional investment.
I don't care, I don't care
Emphasizing the apathy, repeated for emphasis.
My skin's on fire but it feels alright
Feeling intense sensations but not bothered by them.
It keeps me warm late at
These sensations provide comfort, even though intense.
Night but I don't care
Despite the discomfort, the speaker remains indifferent.
I don't care, I don't care
Continued assertion of apathy.
I hit the walls and I yell real loud
Expressing frustration by acting out but not seeking understanding.
I got dreams that life won't
Having aspirations restricted by circumstances.
Allow but you don't care
Highlighting the indifference of others to the speaker's aspirations.
You don't care, you don't care, you
Reinforcing the lack of concern from others.
Don't care, you don't care
-You don't-
Break in expression, maybe indicating a pause in thought or speech.
My neighbors hate me 'cause
Being disliked by neighbors but remaining silent.
I'm always around
Observation of others disapproving, yet not reacting.
They gawk and they talk but
People gossip, but the speaker remains quiet.
I don't make a sound
Not reacting despite being judged by others.
And I answer them back with a stare
Responding to criticism with indifference.
Because I don't care
Emphasizing the lack of concern for external judgment.
I'm a force, I'm a fucking bull, yeah right
Describing oneself as forceful and uncontrollable, but others are disinterested.
Look away, 'cause I'm out of control
-Yeah right
Reiteration of being out of control but met with indifference.
But you don't care and I don't care
Reinforcing the indifference of multiple individuals.
She don't care, we don't care
-I drive a car, it's a piece of junk
Having a flawed possession but not concerned about it.
I got skeletons in my trunk but I don't care
Keeping secrets but not bothered by them being known.
And neither do the pigs
Law enforcement's lack of concern about the speaker's actions.
I had a wife 'til she broke up with me
Reflecting on a past relationship with a lack of regret despite recognizing personal faults.
How she put up with the evil I see
-I don't care
Regret for not caring in a past relationship.
I should have cared
Realization of a past mistake in not caring.
I can't play guitar, I'm a talentless hack
Admitting a lack of skill and using anger to cover up insecurities.
I bitch and I scream to hide what I lack
-Now ask me if I fucking care
Expressing defiance against queries about caring.
I'm a force, I'm a fucking bull, yeah right
Reiteration of forcefulness and lack of control.
Look away, 'cause I'm out of control
-Yeah right
Reiterating lack of concern despite potential consequences.
But you don't care and I don't care
Emphasizing indifference among different individuals.
She don't care, we don't care
-Well I kill my time and it feels so good
Enjoying unproductive activities without concern for judgment.
I think I'll do it more
-'cause I think I should
-Ok I'll share my daily affairs
-But you don't care
Sharing daily routine without expecting interest or understanding.
Wake up, pee, and drink coffee
Detailing a routine, expressing immaturity, and refusal to conform.
Touch myself and watch a movie
-Smoke some weed and write a song or two
-Or three
-It's immature, it's honesty
-I won't grow up, I tried that already
-I guess we'll just have to agree
-To disagree
Agreeing to disagree, emphasizing the persistence in the speaker's stance.
I don't care that I don't care
Repetition of not caring as a firm statement.
I don't care that I don't care
-I don't care that I don't care
